Well, it's all in the ingredients. According to Vietnamese Chef, Mai Pham, the trick is to toast the onions and spices before adding them into the broth.

Toasting will give off that same rich flavorful aroma that usually takes hours to produce, magic indeed.

Instructions:

First place the oven rack 4-6 inches from the broiler to preheat.

On a sheet of foil paper, throw on the onions, garlic, ginger cloves, anise, and 5 grinds of pepper.

Toast everything for 5 minutes, turning the pieces once.

Afterwards, put the toasted goods into a 6-quart pot. Mix and boil all the broth ingredients, water, and sugar. Cover the pot, letting that delish soup simmer for 20 minutes.

As the soup starts filling your kitchen with that fresh fragrance, start preparing the noodles. Boil the noodles for 10-15 minutes, stirring a few times, until they are tender and firm.

As the soup is simmering, the noodles are soaking, and your craving of pho is uncontrollably increasing, distract yourself by preparing the table salad. By the time you've finished arranging, everything else will be done.

Saving the best part for last, drain and rinse the noodles with cold water, pour the broth into onto the noodles, and hooray, time to eat!

Authentic pho takes medium rare seriously, so make sure to place the meat into the soup raw and let the soup do the work of cooking.

Tender noodles, juicy medium rare meat, and fresh herbs all soaked into a piping hot flavor infused soup, what are you waiting for? Go get yourselves some pho.
